Description
Now that most Canadian cities have “gone global,” do you feel overwhelmed by how unaware we are of the culture and backgrounds of our new neighbours? Do you wish you knew enough at least to start a conversation with them?
This little book helps get us launched. It starts off in play mode, and it keeps things simple, even when it is helping you to understand some complex realities about why people come here from far away.
The author, Chris Pullenayegem, knows first-hand what it’s like to find his way into the many layers of life in a new land. In person, he is so hospitable, sympathetic, warm and respectful that being his neighbour is always a delight. Ditto for reading his handbook. —Janet Somerville CM, MA, DSL
Former (retired) General Secretary, Canadian Council of Churches
Given our changing demographic, what an opportunity we have to
embrace “the other” regardless of background and culture. By listening to God’s heart, Chris brings to life the experiences and struggles of our neighbours and helps us understand our differences in a way that frees us to love. Every household should have this creative book as a resource and guide. —Paulette Kinmond, Director, Supporter Development (Legacy Development, Ethnic Communities, Private & Corporate Development), World Vision, Canada
